London, 1927. The city is buzzing with life and at the centre of it all is 30-year-old Grace Rutherford. By day, Grace is a copy-writer at one of Londons biggest advertising agencies but by night she leads a double life as Diamond Sharp, the sharp-tongued author of a racy newspaper gossip column. Diamond Sharp on The Charleston:Last night a louche gentleman wreaked violent Charleston on me. They dance it dandily in Paris so how much longer is it going to be before the Londoner learns how to do it properly?But, although on the face of it Grace is a party girl without a care in the world, she is struggling with a troubled home life and lives in fear that her sister Nancy will discover a guilty secret she is keeping.And when Grace meets two enigmatic Americans who are sworn enemies, she is drawn into a nest of secrets, lies and love which will turn her life upside down and change it for ever.

Every morning, ecologist Tim Blackburn is inspired by the diversity contained within the moth trap he runs on his roof. Beautiful and ineffably mysterious, these moths offer a glimpse into a larger order, one that extends beyond individual species and into a hidden landscape. Footmen, whose populations are on the march as their lichen food recovers from decades of industrial pollution. The Goat Moth, a thumb-sized broken stick mimic, that takes several years to mature deep in the wood of tree trunks. The Oak Eggar, with the look of a bemused Honey Monster, host to a large wasp that eats its caterpillars alive from the inside. The Uncertain, whose similarity to other species has motivated its English name. The Silver Y, with a weight measured in milligrams, but capable of migrating across a continent. A moth trap is a magical contraption, conjuring these and hundreds of other insect jewels out of the darkness. Just as iron filings arrange themselves to articulate a magnetic field that would otherwise be invisible, Blackburn shows us that when we pay proper attention to these tiny animals, their relationships with one another and their connections to the wider web of life, a greater truth about the world gradually emerges. In THE JEWEL BOX, he reflects on what he has learned in thirty years of work as a scientist studying ecosystems, and demonstrates how the contents of one small box can illuminate the workings of all nature.

"I'LL TAKE TWO!" That's what Bibi Branchflower says about everything. She has two houses, two hats (exactly alike), and two silly dogs. But she doesn't have a single friend. When she comes across a beautiful jewel box, of course she wants two of them. Though there's only one like it in all the world, inside two dancers spin. Perfect! The shopkeeper explains that the box is enchanted—all who look on the ballerinas will see sorrow in their faces. Soon Bibi becomes more concerned with her sad ballerinas than with worldly riches. What will make them happy? It is her love that finally transforms them into living, breathing, happy children—and gives Bibi two real friends.

Back in the Sixties while Motown hits filled the airwaves, naïve Jill Novak acknowledged her knack for choosing losers when boring Husband Number One vanished, leaving her to support their two-year-old. Afflicted with planning deficit disorder, the perpetual daydreamer soon morphs from small town Jill to sophisticated big city Cherie, but a new name does not a better future bring. In 1969 Houston, Cherie encounters a rogue's gallery of characters unlike those from her small Texas hometown; a drop-dead gorgeous transsexual, a snarling wannabe Mafia hit-man, a hairy cop who incorporates fondling girls into his job, and a ditzo neighbor whose desire for friendship borders on stalking. But it is two distinctly different men—a middle-age gregarious gambler and a twenty-something gruff intellectual—who jump on board her turbulent thirty-year roller coaster ride and journey with her into the 21st Century and womanhood. A tough and tender Texas-sized romance with a mild metaphysical slant, The Jewel Box highlights moments from the mystical, laid-back Age of Aquarius through the materialistic, high-speed Internet era. Music and references to the times/political climate convey the nations rocky terrain (and subsequent growth) parallel with that of the main character. This is a story of an engaging and open-hearted woman with no plan, making her way through life by fits and starts, and ultimately succeeding by turning out to be stronger than she thought. The Jewel Box reminds us that true love rarely runs smooth, true friendship never wavers, occasionally everyone screws up, and sometimes slipping off track and conquering rough terrain can make the final destination even more satisfying.

Klappentext: "This is a selection of popular Chinese stories from the 10th to the 17th centuries. These stories were written in the spoken language that developed as a literary medium after the emergence of an urban commercial economy in the Song Dynasty (A.D. 960-1279). Originally the manuscripts of ordinary street story-tellers, this genre of fiction - deriving its material from the life and times of the period, with vivid writing and intricate plots, descriptions that are natural and vivacious - has now attained a lofty place as literature. The twenty stories in this book are selected from over two hundred in several collections published at the beginning of the 17th century. The illustrations included in this volume are taken from contemporary editions." - Enthält: Introduction. - The jade worker. - The honest clerk. - Fifteen strings of cash. - The monk's billet-doux. - The foxes' revenge. - The hidden will. - The two brothers. - The beggar chief's daughter. - A just man avengd. - The tattered felt hat. - The courtesan's jewel box. - The oil vendor and the courtesan. - The old gardener. - Marriage by proxy. - The proud scholar. - The tangerines and the tortoise shell. - The story of a breggart. - The alchemist and his concubine. - A prefectship bought and lost. - The merry adventures of Lazy Dragon. - Die Erzählungen sind drei Sammlungen des Feng Menglong (Yushi mingyan, Jingshi tongyan und Xingshi hengyan) sowie der Sammlung "Paian jingqi" des Lin Mengchu entnommen. Insbesondere Erzählungen in den Sammlungen des Feng Menglong lassen sich vielfach auf ältere Quellen zurückführen.
